"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-003039 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in Python before 3.11.1. An unnecessary quadratic algorithm exists in one path
    when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted, unreasonably long name
    being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU denial of service. Hostnames are often supplied by
    remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor; in such a scenario, they could trigger
    excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied supposed hostname.
    For example, the attack payload could be placed in the Location header of an HTTP response with status
    code 302. A fix is planned in 3.11.1, 3.10.9, 3.9.16, 3.8.16, and 3.7.16.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
